Let us clarify. The code change today implements the Akamai content delivery network (CDN) for the delivery of all static content (i.e. .swf, .js, and .css). This allows these elements to be loaded from Akamai's massive "edge" presence rather than our Seattle-based colocation facilities - this offloads traffic from our web servers and greatly increases load speed for the ad content. You will notice that the old path (www.widgetbucks.com) was updated to reflect the new path (images.widgetbucks.com) which is a CNAME mapping to the Akamai network. The removal of the back-link was simply based on publisher feedback about not being allowed to modify the HTML to place a "no-follow" for SEO purposes - rather than grant permission to modify the HTML we provide, we simply removed the backlink. That back-link, by the way, was never maliciously placed there - if you do not have the Flash Player installed, then we wanted to show a link to WidgetBucks, plain and simple - disabling javascript does nothing more than reproduce the No-Flash-Player case, since javascript is used to load the flash player. The last part, which is the "big mystery" about why we are not showing in the Google SERPs: This was a simple SEO oversight on our part in our rush to launch the site. We had some page content issues that were causing the page not to be indexed properly. If there is any doubt, I am happy to share a screenshot of the Google Webmaster tools report. This has nothing to do with Google, would be happy to put my name on it. The home page corrections were made yesterday, and we would expect to see Widgetbucks properly in SERPs in the next week or so. Hope that helps clarify the misperception/misunderstanding here.

A big no-no! Having a hidden text link is a direct violation from Google's TOS. I found it rather funny for widgetbucks to say speedier loading times when they mean to say, for us to be indexed again. Haha Yup. A big no-no!
